I've reached 10,000 subscribers on Youtube!! So in celebration of that I'm having a little giveaway over on my channel ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=94DyRP… ) You can enter to win super awesome Lit Cosmetics lit kits! Head over to my channel and enter! GO GO GO!

Sooo i've been getting this lovely "Error uploading file: deviantART: 500 internal server" error for quite a while now every time I try to upload. It's probably been close to a year? Anyways, I'd always just keep trying and eventually it would let me upload. Now, no matter what I do I can't upload a single thing. I've tried changing browsers, changing the file, turning off my beta testing. Nothing works. So I've submitted a report... but that might take a while. So in the meantime... here's my latest work:
